Thanks for your input.
D'oh. Was doing a couple of other things while typing this response out for hand 3.

For the 2nd hand, there's a difference between betting weakly and betting so you absolutely get a call. Preflop shows he some idea of how to bet (the 3-bet raise) so that 1/4 pot bet looks mighty fishy.

For hand 3, think about what hands immediately go all in there. Top set or a made straight (IE hands that have you killed) is gonna insta push that so they don't give any cheap diamonds or a draw to AA, 22, 66, or 77. Note that at smaller limits for the most part people pushing 10x the pot AI on the flop signifies extreme strength (but not nut strength, unless you have a really fishy image, or they don't know how to extract value).

Now that I think about it though, the PRF looks an awful like AA or KK. You also may have someone sitting on AK diamonds (much moreso with that pre-flop raise than A2s or 56s). Actually looking back on it, I really like your call here, though I'm torn because that ridiculous push looks so wrong. Nh though, and I applaud your gumption.
